His Remarkably Good Disposition

Naught, as He In Himaelf Again,
(Copyright, 191, by C. B. Lewis.)
UNDAY.— When Mr. Bowser
got up this morning, he was
unusnally silent, and, though
his socks, collar, tle and col-
lar button were scattered about the
room, as usual, he recovered them all
without once declaring that this was
the worst run house in America, He
usually growls about his Sunday break-
fast, but on this occasion he hadn't a
word of fault to find. I made no sug
gestion about his accompanying me to
church and was utterly amazed when
he announced his intention. I looketl

for a row when be came to dress, but |

there was none, He seldom or never
puts on a fresh collar without blasting
the laundryman’s eyes, but on this oc
casion he even spoke of the work being
nicely done, He didn't find the chureh
too cold or too hot, the singing too loud

down on his hands and knees and hunt-
ed {t up without a swear word; found
no fault with breakfast, although I
thought the oatmeal was overdone; left
the house In what seemed a happy
frame of mind, and when he returned
to dinner he brought no new fad with
him; sat and read a book nearly all the
evening, and when I showed him the
gas bill that bad been handed in during
the day he remarked that it was very
moderate for the time of year, I look-
ed at him in amazement, but he smiled
in return, Two politicians called to
ask him to run for mayor, but he quiet-
ly refused and would not even go to
the nearest saloon to talk matters over;
complimented me on the way I man-
age the house and Inquired if my pin
money was sutliclent to carry me along.
I wonder if anything is going to hap-
pen.

Tuesday.—No kicks in the morning,
no kicks at breakfast, The coffee was
surely a little off, but Mr. Bowser sald
nothing about firing the cook through
the window, He wore bis old hat away
by mistake, but be did not come home
and blow me up about it. I was rather
expecting to see Lim bring home a fire
escape, a burglar alarm or a new Idea

a box of candy Instead, The cook has
observed bis singular change and ts

had an uncle who made just sucb a

A Japunese Nero,

I recall to mind a story of an officer
in the Japanese emperor's army which
was besieging a fortvess. Its number
was small and a relieving army was
coming up, It was of immense mo-
ment that they should know how long
the fortress could bold out, If it must

a week they could stay and win the
cumpalign for the emperor, A young
Japanese nobleman yoluntecred to go
into the fortress and ascertain how
long it could hold out. He disguised
himself, and In passing learned that it
had food and water for only two days
more,

As he was going out with this pre-
clous information he was detected, and
the enemy suid to him, “We are going
to crucify you, but we will let you off
on one condition—that you go to the
wall and tell your people that we have
supplies for a week.”

lie said, “Very well,” and went to
the wall, His wife and children in the
besiegers’ camp saw him, his friends
were there also, and he held up both
his hands and said to them: “There
are supplies for but two days. Con-
tinue the siege and you will take the
place.”

Many years ago before the days of
railroads a nobleman and his wife,
with their infant, were traveling
across Salisbury plain, As the story is
told in Mr. A. P. Russell's “Character-
istics,” they were overtaken by a se-
vere storm and took refuge in a lone
shepherd's hut.

The child had taken cold before they
could find shelter and the nurse began
at once to undress it by the warn
cottage fire, As she pulled off one
rich silken garment after another the
shepherd and his wife looked on itn
awed silence,

At last the process of undressing was
conipleted and the lttle naked baby
was being warmed by the tire. There
it sat, with all its splendid outer busks
pecled off, its little body beginning to
glow in the hut by the tire. The shep-
herd drew a long breath and exciaimed,
“Why, it's Just like one of ours!

Why We Shake Hands,

To shake hands with a person is
rightly regarded us a token of amity,
but very few know how this custom
arose,

According to a French ethnologist,
Whenever two men met in former tines
they were accustomed to hold up their

P right hands tn front of them as a sign

that they had no intention of attack-
Ing each other, This mark of cont-
dence, however, did not prove sufficient
in all cases, for a man may hold up his
right hand and yet, if he keeps it
closed, iIniy have a wenpon concealed
In it, and therefore it became the cus:
tom for the two right hands to grasp
each other, as only thus could full as
surance be given that no weapon was
concenled in either of them, Formerly,
therefore, this gesture, now the token
of loyalty and friendship, was one ef
reciprocal distrust,

A Story of Mark Twatn,

When Mark Twain was beginning
his career as a humorous lecturer, he
one day arranged with a ne-
quatntance that she should sit ina box
nnd start the appliuse when he should
stroke his mustache. The lecturer
started off so well that he did not need
“uy such help, however, for he caught

by, when not saying anything worthy
of portionlur notice, he happened to

pull his mustache, and his anxious ally

“Not any more so, miss.” he replied
sriinly, “than to paddle a eanoe.”

a brush for fifteen days at $2.0 day. I!
had tramped on for about thirty miles |
when a farmer who had had an old |
watch stolen from his vest hanging on }j
a tree In a fleld had me arrested as the
thief. T was rushed to the nearest yil-
lage, asked a few questions by a jus-
tice of the peace and sent to the county |

jail for ninety days. In jail I was
searched and the ) found on me, |
This was grounds for ‘suspicion,’ und I |

was immediately haled before another
justice, who tacked sixty days on to |
the original sentence and held my cash |
to await a clalinant. I took a week to
think things over and then got word to
a village lawyer, and when we had
consulted together the fun began,

“Our first move was to begin a suit |
for damages against the farmer who
had charged me with theft, and we had
him badly scared within twenty-four |
hours, Then we went for the consta-
ble for arresting me without a warrant.
We followed this with charges against
the justice, who had refused me coun-
sel, and move No, 4 was against the
sheriff for not supplying his prisoners
with provisions demanded by law, One
of the turnkeys of the jail had slammed
me around because I had refused to
saw wood, and we gave him a sult for |
assault and battery. A writ of habeas
corpus took me out of jail, and the ex- |
citement in that county beat all the
circuses for twenty years. If the law-
yer hadn't been taken with typhoid fe-
ver and died, we might have eventually
upset the whole state government, and
I would have been sure of a place in a
dime museum for life. But his death
called a halt, After the funeral 1 was
waited upon by a committee, and the
result was that I took a night train out
of town and never stopped for 200
miles, I took with me $250 in cash
and the best wisbes of a thriving com-
munity, and I suppose those suits have
been dropped from the docket ere this,
As I said, lam no kicker, but it's well
to let people know that even a tramp
has rights In law.”

“And did you use your money to
make a new start In life?” was asked

man, “but It only brought me fresh
trouble, I struck a town I rather fan-
cied, and I bought me some clothes, en-
gaged a front room at the inn and set- |
tled down to take a few baths at the
mineral springs for my rheumatism, I
hadn't put in over three days when the
story got around that I was a multi
millionaire taking a quiet lay off, and
individuals and committees began to
eall, The subscriptions I was asked to
put down for churches, mill dams, rail-
roads, schoolhouses, asylums and so
on footed vp tens of thousands, I could
have stood these off, but the bund came
to serenade me every night, social par-
ties were given in my honor, and a
widow with a good deal of push to her
recognised mé as her long looked for
atiinity at first sight. She was a firm
bellever in the theory that matches are
made in heaver, and she figured ft out
to a dot that the angels had killed off
her husband and brought me around
through the swamps and underbrush
that I might take his place. I never
was any good at arguing against a
widow, and so I solved the matter by
taking a skip. It was o mysterious
disappesgrance on my part, and I heard
afterward that they dragged the river
and hunted through the swamps for
my body and that the widow put on
rubber boots and was foremost in the
search,

nips don't: taste good to a man who is
finanefally able to buy roast beef and
fried chicken, and it didn’t seem to be
quite the fair ‘thing by other dilapt-
dated gentlemen. While in this state
of mind I struck @ village which had
six mudholes on its half mile of main
street, There were wagons stuck In
three of these boles as I jogged into
town, and the others were occupied by
stray hogs. I asked for the president
of the village, who was a grocer, and
When I reached his store I asked;

“How long have you lived in this
town?’

““Porty-five yours,’ hie replied.

‘How old are those six mudholes out
there?’

“Well, T used to paddle around in
‘em forty years ago,’

“*And hasn't the town ever made any
move to fill ’em up?

“‘It never has, No, them six mud-
holes have grofvn up with us and!
shared our joys and our sorrows, and I
Suppose they will continue on for an-
other half century.’

“‘But they must be a big nuisance,’ |
says I,

“*They surely are’ |

“Tow much would {t cost to fill)
them up with gravel?

“Just exactly $14. I've figured it out |

a thousand times.’ |

“*And won't the town vote the mon- |
ey?’

“ ‘Never in this world.’

““Would it objeet to my doing it?

“TI don't think so; but what's your
object?’

“Just to get rid of them. Here's the
money, and I'm going to hang around |
and see the work done’

“Well, it was done,” said the C. O. D. |
man, “but I got into trouble over it. |
When those holes had been filled up!
there was no longer any place for the!
Btray hogs to wallow in, and that made!
all the hog owners mad. There was no}
longer any excitement over teams get
ting stuck, and that hurt the feelings |
of others, A third party couldn't un-
derstand why a tramp should take it
upon himself to do such a plece of |
work, and {it was finally decided that)
I was either a lunatic or a suspicious)
They run me into the en-
gine house, and two doctors and a com.
mittee of citizens took me in hand.
The doctors probed for evidences of
lunacy, and when they had finished
they differed in their reports. One of
them reported:

“He talks as sane as any man I ever
heard, and it may simply be a case of
hereditary aversion to mudholes.’

“The report of the other was:

“I don't like his talk, He uses more!
or less Latin, and when asked what)
lunatic asylum he escaped from a cun- |
ning expression caige to his eyes, He!
may not be dangerous, but it would be}
as well to keep an eye on him.’

“The committee of townsmen fired
questions at me for three straight!
hours,” said the dilapidated, “and It |

ended by their solemnly shaking thelr
heads and declaring that a tramp who
had $14 to pay for filling up six mud-
holes in a strange town must be plan-|
ning the murder of at least a dozen
citizens. I was shoved Into the lockup
over night, and next morning a con-|
stable led me forth by the arm and saw
me a mile or so on my way toward the
next town. As we walked up the
street I saw that all the gravel had|
been thrown out of those mudholes
during the night and that the glad |
hogs had returned to their wallows. |
There are some things in this world
you can’t beat, and one of ‘em is a!
pastoral village with hogs and mud-
holes picturesquely scattered about.”

OUNNED FOR $4, HE OFFERS THE
COLLECTOR A POSITION.

The Major Unfortunately Forgets Hin
Checkbook=—The Exeuse Does Not
Go, However, and the Bill In Cel-
lected by Force.

(Copyright, 192, by C, B, Lewis.)

AJOB CROFOOT, grand pro- |

morer-and general origina-

tor, had reached his office

and hunted up a cigar stub
left over from the day before and just
settled down to enjoy it when his door
Was banged open and a stranger enter-
ed. The stranger was a man of liberal
build and aggressive look, and he sat
down on a chair without invitation,
took a paper from his pocket and
bluntly remarked:

“Here's a bill of $4 against you for |

laundry work, and I want the cash

ip. d.q.”

The major was taken by surprise,
and for a minute the room whirled
round with him, but only for a minute.

| Then he rallied, worked up a beautiful

sinile and arose, with outstretched
hand, to exclaim:

“What a coincidence! What a coincl.
dence! Upou my word, but it is one of
three or four trifles that had slipped
my mind, and Iam glad you came tn,
Have a cigar?"

“Twill.” replied the collector.

The major felt in his pockets and
looked around on the floor at his feet,
but found no cigar to offer, This fact

didn’t put him out, however, and he |

rudbed his bands and smilingly con
tinued:

“Yes; I'm glad you called, because 1
want to send word to the estimable
woman who runs the laundry that I
had carelessly forgotten the little ac
rount and ain sorry if she has been put
to any worry, I wonder where my
checkbook is?”

“You haven't got any!” replied the

collector in tones so blunt that anoth- |

er man’s feelings might have been

hurt.

“I may possibly bave left it home. If |

til T can fetch it. Yes; I think I dla
leave it. It was my night for giving my
landlady a check, you know.”

“You are lying to me!”

“My dear man, I trust that I mfsun-
derstand your words—I trust I do. This
{s, as I understand it, a meeting be-
tween gentlemen, You have called to
collect a trifling account. I stand ready
to pay the same, I see no need of acri-
mony.”

“Oh, there {s no acrimony,” replied
the man, “You've simply got to pay this
bill before I leave here, I know you for
@ smooth tongued bilk, and none of
your soft speeches will go down, When
you are ready to haul out the cash,
hand it over,”

The major had put on his hat to
leave the office. He removed it, sat

; down, and, working up the same old

Liand smite, he leaned forward and
bald:

“I'm figuring.” grimly replied the
man,

“It will be a trust, of course,” re-

“Oh, the salary is all right,” smiled
the collector, “but you are a day or two
too late. I closed with an offer yester-
day.”

“You don't say? But you can throw

“I don't propose to, I shall get 20

up and walked about, “1 see how it is

“Not just yet,” replied the man as he |
rose up and pulled off bis coat and re-
moved his cuffs.

“Are you too warm?” solicitously in-
quired the major, though a look of anx-
jety rested on his face at the same |
time,

“Not at all. I am simply getting
ready to lick that $4 out of you. If}
you don't shell out within tive minutes, |
I shall turn loose on you,” |

“My dear man, I fail to understand |
you. You call here to collect a trifling

ness of it; but, unfortunately having

“Will you pay?"

“You won't hasten anywhere. Shell |

“My dear sir, 1’—

“Shell out.” |

The major shelled. It took him five |

long minutes to go through his pockets
and find $4, and he was left with only
9 cents to face the cold world. The col- |
lector signed the bill, put on bis cout
and cuffs and walked out, with only a/|
wink and a nod. When he had depart- |
ed, the major sat down and reviewed
the case from beginning to end and}
| counted and recounted the 9 cents, and |
it was with a deep drawn groan that |
he leaned back at last and whispered |
to himself: |

Dodd's Kidney Pil were so Nih-

Kidney Trouble that bothered ime
ever so much

“T want to say that I believe that
Dodd's Widney Pills are the right
medicine for Kidn Trouble.’

Mr. Belvea is very well known to
everybods in this neighborhood und
there are but few who have not been

To Recognize Purity.

Adulteration has grown to such @
@ne art, that it is almost Impossl-
ble for a woman now-a-days to de-
tect the false from the true; but a
chemical analysis will always detect
adulteration. Prof. W. Hodgson
Ellis, Official Analyst to the Domin-
fon Government, after a number of
analyses, reports that “ Sunlight
Soap is a pure and well-made soap.”

Eddy's impervious sheathing is the best building paper made. Itis very
much stronger and thicker than any other (tarred or building) paper. It is
impervious to wind, keeps out cold, ke heat, carries no smell or odor,
absorbs no moisture, imparts no taste flavor to anything to which it
comes in contact It is largely used not or for sheathing houses, but for
ining cold storage buildings, refrigerators, dairies, creameries, and all places
where the object is to keep an even and uniform temperature, and at the

same time avoiding dampness. Write our agents—
